OVERVIEW: The Hermes 450 aka Ziq is a medium-sized multi-payload tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed for tactical long endurance missions. 

DETAILS:  The Hermes 450 has a primary mission of reconnaissance, surveillance and communications relay.  It can also be used for artillery fire adjustment, maritime surveillance, and damage assessment.   Payload options include electro-optical/infrared sensors, communications and electronic intelligence, synthetic-aperture radar/ground-moving target indication, electronic warfare, and hyperspectral sensors.

The information collected on a mission is transmitted via line-of-sight datalink to the ground station for processing and interpretation by the ground element, and rapidly processed through existing intelligence and communications to the users.
